@JoeyDevlin_ My suggested perspective is for every American to think strategically about how to maximize your influence in the political process by registering and voting.
It varies by state.
Some states have the “closed primary,” only for registered party members.

@JoeyDevlin_ In a “closed primary” state, one should register with the dominant party in the region or state, to vote in the closed party primary likely to pick the winner.
This doesn’t necessarily have to coincide with one’s individual political philosophy.
Maximize one’s influence.

@JoeyDevlin_ In a semi-open primary state, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, register as Unaffiliated (or equivalent) to choose your party at each election.
For example, in #NC11 May 17, many progressives requested a Republican ballot to vote Against Madison Cawthorn. @davidbwheeler

@JoeyDevlin_ @davidbwheeler Similarly in Colorado #CO03 right now, to vote Against Lauren Boebert by voting for @coramforco in the Republican primary @FireBoebert.
Other states have an open primary and it may not even be possible to register with a party.
Key is to think strategically for yourself.
